Hey man, nice video. However, the music was quite annoying. It would have been great to cut the music off or turn it all the way down once the title card was presented. Doesnt help that its the most stereotypical Indian music either, sounds a bit odd overall and distracts me from your narration.

Hey Anuroop, thanks for the constructive feedback. I chose this track to add atmosphere in the first half of the video, wasn't trying to push a stereotype or anything - my bad if it appeared like that. I'll keep this in mind for the videos I do in the future. I'm glad that overall you enjoyed the video and hope you stick around for the next one. 😊
Apart from the stereotypical music, everything was on point..

Great vid as always mate. Totally agree on Indian batsmen valuing their wicket, I think that’s one of the biggest parts to their success in India.

Honestly think we have a squad that can do it, having Green in the team will help immensely once he's fit to bowl again. Can play two fingerspinners without losing anything. Will be won and lost with the batsman, they must be patient and let the game come to them on the flatter decks. Big first innings totals will be vital.
Love the content you share! Keep up the great work 😃

Now Indian batsman are not great playera of spin. Recent success is based on spinners who can bat... Jadeja (can bat at 6) and Axar and Ashwin (decent number 7) coming at 7,8,9 and scoring crucial runs has made all the difference in last 5-6 years
That music 😭😭😭😭
We want another video on Indian pitches as u said..
Great channel ! Could you consider making a video on virats rough patch and how he rose and his form during the rough patch and stuff
I mean, most of the pitches that India have made have been good for batting as a general perusal of Indian batsmen's averages would tell you. I think a large chunk of credit for India's success is owed to their master spinners.
It's a very extraordinary thing that we have managed to stay unbeaten at home for 10 years, but like they say no team is unbeatable, we will be beaten someday. I think the best way to win in India and the subcontinent is learning to play spin the way Indian players do( upto a certain extent, because SENA batsmen have played on pace friendly wickets) and put a large score on board somewhere in the range of 350-400, which will put pressure on the Indian team as they expect to bowl you out easily. And also come to India with a proper bowling attack predominantly filled with spinners.( Like the way england did in 2013) An ideal bowling attack on a Indian pitch would be:- 2 off spinners( one right arm and one left arm) 1 leg spinner( preferably a left arm as not many left arm leg spinners are found) 1 spin all rounder A fast bowler with a lot of pace with ability to reverse swing the ball. Please share your thoughts on this and willing to accept any further info.
Congratulations to India for thumping Australia so emphatically in the first Test. In the end, Australian batting was found to be very inept and except for their newbie bowler Todd Murphy, all members of their bowling looked very weak, devoid of any strategy and missed left arm bowlers. What's more, India won without contributions from Rahul, Kohli, SKY, Bharat and there was no Gill, Bumbrah or Umesh Yadav. It was great to see Rohit Sharma hitting form at the right time to let him play a superb captain's knock and inspire Jadeja, Axar, Ashwin, Siraj and Shami to play truly top class cricket. No one expected Australia to be bowled out twice in just 2.5 days. All Indian players can be proud of their performances. But it is seriously time to drop KL Rahul, who has been given too many opportunities in all forms of cricket for more than 10 years only to let the side down with very poor batting. Shubman Gill should be looked on as the next Virat Kohli and play as all format opener. Although I expect Australia to come back harder but they have too many injured bowlers to threaten India's deep batting strength. India must smash Australia 4-0 to again regain #1 Test ranking. But Gill must become the permanent opener from the next match in Delhi. Good luck India. 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳💪💪💪🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Indian dominance is noting to do with pitches. It’s due to quality players. Kuldeep and Ashwin are world class spinners who can bowl anywhere on earthz
Great Video! Nice to see content from SENA countries. As an Indian, personally, I am not a fan of the pitches we make because IMO Pace bowling is the best part of cricket. That's why I love watching tests in England who also have the highest footfall for Tests which makes for a great atmosphere. How's cricket's popularity in Australia? Is it declining?
Only if it was this easy. There are almost layers to beating India in India. You go past the first challenge, then the other one appears.
maybe a video on changes in Indias performance overseas would be interesting
🔥🔥🔥
I wished so much that it was true for today...
To be honest I reckon Australia have a good shot at taking the tour win. We have the likes of Murphy and Agar along with Lyon to count towards the heavy spin advantage. Our top order batsmen would also have confidence coming into the series after the thumping of South Africa at home.

For the last few years, half of india's batting line up is hardly performing And still they allow the opposition to win at max 1 test in a series, which is astonishing
Its fine if English pitches are boucy and seamy... But its controversial when Indian pitches turn... Am I missing something here?

And another point I think Shri Lanka players are also historically good at keeping their wicket . It seems to me a strength in sub continent pitches . But good for the players to test themselves in these conditions .i have never said that India are not quality side because they are clearly top side . My point was only about pitches but i also pointed out all teams create pitches to suit their side . So it was not criticism of India
India is the greatest Asian team; not an overseas team in SENA countries. In fact Asian teams struggle heavily in extreme weather conditions.
I don't understand why all foreign youtubers include a sitar/Veena background music when describing something about India. Seems like a lazy choice to just do what everyone else is doing
One thing I can promise you brother India will not loose a home test series for at least 10-15 years
Really good analyses- looking forward to watching this channel grow. Not sure about the music though.
I'm an Indian and one who admires test cricket. The problem with India is that they make this pitches really unfit and unpredictable only in test matches to secure a win against SENA countries, because due to events like IPL, indian players have become less patient and are unable to play long patient innings. So inorder to keep the game short the curators makes pitches like this. While during ODI and T20 or IPL, they make the pitches super flat to keep runs coming. So its not pitches is India are super spinning tracks,its just the way the curators make the pitches to let the home team win. Its fair when the pitch quality is upto international level.But majority of the times, the pitch quality is subpar, thats why even once in a blue moon bowler like Travis Head was able to bowl massive turning and unpredictable balls in BGT. I see this weird way to win only common in India where the test tracks are unpredictable and spinning whereas shorter formats are flat tracks. If we look in Australia, during tests, ODI,s T20,s and even BBL, the pitches remain the same hard, fast tracks as always with the advantage being due to the type of the ball (red, pink or white) and skill of the bowler rather than to the pitch that behaves like a ploughed field. In earlier cricket days in India, we won due to true caliber and skill, since the pitch got massive turns and uneven bounce majorly by the beginning of the 4th day which is usual as the pitch gets deteriorated with time. But pitches behaving like day 5 or worse even in the first day is just pure non-sense and as a true cricket fan makes me sad. As much as I love my nation in cricket, but this way of winning is a shame to the game of cricket.

Lol , how can u even start to compare T20 pitches with those of Test matches. Only 40 overs are bowled in a T20 , the ball does not even gets old enough to start turning or there is not enough overs for cracks to open up. Also even in IPL, there is turn in Delhi , Chennai and Kolata so it's not like they are super flat.

@@keysersoze9651 lol did u understood anything I just said? I never said there is no turn in limited over matches. It's the ultra pro Max turn even Travis head becomes Shane Warne. And about the limited overs, what about an ODI match then, a total of 100 overs will be bowled , whereas in a day of test only 90 overs. Still I never saw any turn close to test matches in ODIs. So congratulations.

@@alwaysaskwhy2420 Ok I think you need a refresher about ODi cricket. ODI cricket is played using white ball and for each innings there are 2 white balls used. So the ball never gets more than 25 overs old. Whilst test match is played using a Red Ball which is changed only after 80 overs. Furthermore ODI matches are also affected by due making the balls harder to grip. Add to the fact that spinners are less likely to bowl a slow and flighted delivery in an ODI match. If you consider all these factors it is obvious that you are not going to get as much turn as you get in Test matches.

Doesn't really explain why India has only won 2 World Cups, or why Australia has won 2 World Cups in India. Or the newfangled Test Championship crap. That is more than India has managed so far, despite throwing a lot of cash into hosting.
Pakistan had the best record in India prior to ban, although India stopped playing them, and would have beaten them in India between 2008-2013 easily and even after retirement of younis and Misbah would have won however this was Pakistans record from 1987 -2007 1987 P5 Pak win 1-0 1998 P3 Pak win 2-1 ( 1 Asia cup match) 2005 P3 Pak drew 1-1 2007 P3 Ind win 1-0 In ODI during this period between 1987 -2013 Pakistan decimated India in ODI I remember 4-2 drubbing 1987 then 4-2 drubbing 1998 then another 2-1 win in 2013 also a 4-2 drubbing in 2005 Again India definitely would have won In ODI between 2008-2023 , but they never played.

There should be fair competition. But India didn't stop playing because they were feared of getting lost in a test series But rather political reasons (26/11 attacks worsened the situation) . And Even India would beat Pakistan in Pakistan You know these matches would have generated a lot of money which boards 😁 cares about but the political reasons stay as it is .

unfamiliarity??? Most of the players from SENA play in IPL every year pitches for ipl and tests may be different but they are quite familiar with indian conditions overall
I think Australia under gun captain Pat Cummins, with emphatic Test cricket victories for the last two years and with many Australian players familiar with Indian conditions through playing IPL, will be very difficult for India to beat with their poor bowling strength and unsettled batting. Result: 2-1 to Australia.
